Free Comic Book Day - Marvel Comics

Following up on the news of the DC Comics Free Comic Book Day offerings, today we have a look at what Marvel Comics will have available for fans to pick up on May 5.

For the sixth annual Free Comic Book Day, Marvel's rolling out a brand new Spider-Man tale by the blockbuster creative team of Dan Slott (She-Hulk) and Phil Jimenez (New X-Men). Much like 2006's Runaways/X-Men FCBD offering, the story in AMAZING SPIDER-MAN: SWING SHIFT is steeped in continuity, yet accessible and enjoyable by all Spider-Man fans.

So what's the SWING SHIFT all about? "It's a fun, all-new, done-in-one adventure," exclaims Slott. "I like to think of it as the perfect 'chaser' to your SPIDER-MAN 3 weekend." Wacker divulges a bit more about the book's plot: "It's the birthday of someone very close to Peter, but the special day is ruined by the appearance of a new villain that will haunt Pete for months to come," says Wacker.

But, wait! There's more! Riding shotgun on Free Comic Book Day 2007 is a brand new Marvel Adventures book, Marvel Adventures Three-In-One. Featuring the triple threat of Iron Man, Hulk and Franklin Richards, the book promises to be a romp for fans of all ages.
